Welcome Messages
from Director and Platinum Sponsor Nawaal Boolay
Careers Service Director The Epic Job Expo has over 80 exhibitors offering a wide range of local and international opportunities – for students of all levels. A big thank you to the sponsors and recruiters for making this happen. Students, this expo is for you. Even with a world class qualification, you need to ensure you have the skills for the future world of work. Consult with our CVexperts, listen to the hourly talks, engage with our Careers Service team and speak to the various high-profile employers about what they are looking for in new recruits. Also be sure to peruse the job board. Whatever you do today, be open minded. Ask questions, be confident and consider all of your options. Take an hour or two out of your day and simply explore the possibilities. It might just be another day for you, but it could also turn out to be just what you needed to kick-start your career. OWN YOUR FUTURE.

We are enormously excited about the opportunity to partner with UCT for the event once again, which is so critical in our mission to be a firm that strives to be exceptional. To be exceptional, we must employ exceptional people.

We believe that UCT students possess these qualities, together with an unparalleled drive to succeed. We look forward to meeting you, so please come speak to our team during the event to find out exactly what Monocle is all about!
